They are such a young team and am confident he will be able to turn around the situation in Columbus.

I remember reading a few stories about Hitchcock’s Civil War interest while he was the head coach of the Flyers. I could be wrong, but I believe one of these mentioned that he even did some reenacting. Again, I could be wrong.

Re: his difficulty communicating with his younger players, it certainly might be a generational thing. But keep in mind that Hitchcock’s also one of those coaches (they can be found in any sport) who come with a short shelf-life. It might have something to do with personality, or style, or not being a so-called “players-coach.” But Hitchcock, and others like him, usually wear out their welcome (regardless of the relative youth of their players) in a couple of years. He did so in Philly, and he’ll likely do so eventually in Columbus.

All of which is not to say that he’s not a very talented guy.

We have considered getting Hitch to speak to our RT. But he lives in Canada during the off season & is too busy during the season.

Man we need some wins!

Mike Peters!
